I am not wanting a ref baiting contest but i would be interested to find out how many penaties certain refs give against Leeds compared to other teams. As Sinny said in his post match interview, some of the decisions are pretty dodgy and do not appear to be consistant. The lifting player one springs to mind, yes he did shout held when we picked up the Wakey lad but we released pretty quickly soon after.. also Wakey's last try, how was it not a knock on?? I am not a subscriber to the RFL against us theories but we do seem to have an issue. Thoughts and stats would be appreciated.

Mate, I don't think we really need another thread on tonights game.

There's obviously an issue with Ganson as both Sinfield and Bluey alluded to it on the after-match interviews. Bluey said if we'd lost that game it would have been the 3rd on the trot with Ganson in charge and mentioned having to adapt our game specifically for matches he officiates. It needs sorting.

Mate, it's just not about tonights game, its about the referring standard in general

well can't it be posted on the Steve Ganson thread then?

Should teams have to adapt to different referees? Thought the rules were the same. I dont think it is just him either. Seems we are being unfairly penalised. The two laughing idiots on Sky dont help. They have both been harping on about the HUll gamne and how they thought a lot of the passes were forward, guess what, the first chance he gets he blows for a forward pass.

Not bothered which thread this appears on. Steve Ganson is an AR$E!

It's about all ref's, not fair to single out our scouse friend is it??

You're not seriously suggesting that all refs are being delibratly biased against us are you? They don't underground meetings discussing new ways to punish us. We have very poor disapline. We break the rules the referee penilises us for it end of.

I am not saying that refs have an agenda against us, i just would hope that the refs are a bit more consistant. i.e. there are always two teams on the pitch. Apart from the dissent (which i hate), there was never a 10 - 4 or whatever it finished difference between the team. He missed lots of grapples by the wakey players to name but a few.

fair enough

.................and what about the Danny Brough kick which clearly went wide of the post and yet both linesmen stuck their flags up?

I'm not sure it did go wide.

The last try was given by the VR wasn't it? That's not Ganson's fault if the VR screws up.

I don't think we have too much to complain about over the lifting. Our player was lifted right next to the touchline. We didn't deserve to be awarded a penalty over that. Our lifting and driving soon after that was well inside the field and simply a drive forward. There was a significant push after the call for held came. When Wakey were pushing there was no held called because they were already crossing the touchline.

It feels bad when it looks like we've been punished when they got away with it, but I feel the incidents just weren't the same.

One decision I didn't agree with was the penalty when Wakey kicked through and the player was supposedly tripped by Peacock. That was as much of a dive as Cristiano Ronaldo has put in the last few years for Man United. His only intent was to run into the player and fall down in a heap.

you wasnt the only one who thought that
